Jim Duff~ Early River Gallery.My Stores Logo About this piece: Judy says about this piece: "The word freedom is a powerful, emotionally charged word,evoking ideas of independence,free will, opportunity, and inalienable rights. Freedom enables change, learning, understanding,rescue and salvation. The very nature of the word,"Freedom",however,implies that there are those who are not free. *The three hidden eagle images in this piece symbolize Judy's deep desire for freedom in America, not only for its citizens,but also for its wildlife. The single, proud and wild horse symbolizes the millions of other wild horses that once roamed our great land. And, the eagle feathers refer specifically to a time when Native Americans lived freely with pride and purpose. Let there be "Freedom For All." Judy Larson always knew she was going to be an artist. She was surrounded by them as a child, and was particularly inspired by her father, a professional illustrator. Judy received a Bachelor of Science degree in Commercial Art from Pacific Union College in Northern California, then spent the next 17 years as a commercial artist, illustrator and art director. In 1988, influenced by her love of nature and animals, Judy devoted her time to wildlife art. Her primary focus in each of her paintings is the animal, with the horse as a recurring subject. Her unique approach to her work is through the use of scratch board--a technique that can render magnificent detail but one requiring infinite patience. Scratch board, an old, but little used medium, consists of a smooth, thin surface of hardened China clay applied to a board. The subject is then painted solidly with black India ink to create a silhouette. Now the exacting work begins, engraving the image into the surface of the artwork. While many artists use steel nibs or engraving tools, Judy prefers to work with X-acto blades, changing them ever few minutes to produce as fine a line as possible. Once the subject has been totally scratched, it is a finished black and white illustration, ready for the artist to add color. The methods of adding color are diverse. Judy prefers a combination of airbrush, gouache or acrylics for finishing, with frequent rescratching for detail. Scratch board is a demanding medium, one that Judy has used masterfully in developing her unique approach to wildlife art. About Early River Gallery: Greetings from Vermont.
